Over 100,000 passengers have been left stranded overseas this morning following the collapse of Monarch Airlines.
The British airline was the oldest in operation until this morning when KPMG accountants announced it had entered into administration.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is stepping in to organise repatriation for thousands trying to get back to the UK. Around 30 planes will need to be chartered to carry out the operation. 300, 000 future bookings have also been cancelled.
